Introduction
Welcome to the AutoSPRAY 4080 User Manual. This document
describes how to use the AutoSPRAY 4080 system.
The AutoSPRAY 4080 system is designed to connect to your existing
Spray Controller and GPS guidance system to provide automatic boom
section control. This will greatly reduce the need for manually switching
sections ON or OFF when going over previously sprayed crop or
pasture. Its ability to automatically control the spraying state of the
sections relieves the operator from an arduous task which requires split
second timing on multiple switches. Unlike other AutoSPRAY models
which were incorporated with the guidance system the AutoSPRAY 4080
is an autonomous system which can be interfaced with most existing
spray rate controllers and GPS receivers.
This manual is designed to assist users of the AutoSPRAY 4080 in the
operational use of the AutoSPRAY 4080 hardware and software.

2.2 Connecting Vehicle Power
The RINEX power cable (P/N 1-2406) is a three core power cable which
allows the AutoSPRAY 4080 controller to be connected directly to the
vehicle's battery. The cable can be connected directly to a 12vDC battery
supply without the need for any additional step-down converters.
RED
Positive wire with in-line fuse connects to the vehicle
battery positive terminal (12 vDC ONLY), fitted with a M12
ring connector.
BLACK
Ground wire connects to the vehicle battery negative
terminal, fitted with a M12 ring connector.
ORANGE Positive wire connects to the vehicle ignition ON circuit.
The wire is connected into the vehicle's ignition circuit such
that the AutoSPRAY 4080 will detect when the ignition is
switched on and off.
" The RINEX power cable is assembled within split tubing to
allow the orange wire to be separated at any point to allow for
in-cab termination.
The cable should be routed from the operator's cab to the vehicle's
batteries through a dedicated cable gland. If necessary an exit hole will
have to be drilled into the vehicle which should be fitted with a rubber
grommet to protect the cable from rubbing directly on the vehicle wall.
The hole should be sealed with the supplied silicone sealant to prevent
dust and moisture from entering the cab.
Customized Power Connector Cables
It is possible to order customized power connection cables to simplify the
installation of the AutoSPRAY 4080. Cables are available for the John
Deere power strip connection and the universal thee pin circular
connector. Both connectors provide direct battery power and the ignition
circuit power. Refer to Appendix B for optional cable information.
DC Power Cautionary Notes
The RINEX power cable supplied should only be connected
AutoSPRAY 4080 User Manual
Page 10
Version 2.1
Revision A
directly to the battery with the supplied fuse in place. We
strongly recommend NOT removing the supplied fuse. If a
power wire should short to the vehicle body, a battery can
supply a current that will heat the wire to the point where the
insulation will catch fire. A fuse mounted inline near the battery
connection point and before the cable passes through the
vehicle panel will prevent the risk of a vehicle fire.
The RINEX power cable should not be connected to the input or
output terminals of a step-down converter in a 24v DC system
as typically the converter will effect system performance.
The RINEX power cable should not be connected directly to the
battery if the vehicle is equipped with a battery isolator switch.
In these cases the negative wire (black) should be connected to
the vehicle side of the isolator.
AutoSPRAY 4080 User Manual
Page 11
Version 2.1
Revision A
2.3 Connecting the Spray Rate Controller
A generic spray rate controller cable is supplied with the AutoSPRAY
unless a specific cable was ordered at the time of purchase. Preassembled cables which plug directly from the AutoSPRAY 4080
controller to spray rate controllers such as a Raven 440/450, Farmscan
24V1, or a TeeJet 844 can be ordered with the system.
See Appendix B – AutoSPRAY 4080 Options for available spray rate
controller cables. Each cable kit is supplied with comprehensive
installation instructions.
When the spray rate controller cable has been installed, connect the 16
pin AMP circular connector the AutoSPRAY 4080 back panel.
To test Spray Rate Controller cable, follow the steps below.

Ensure that the Isolation Power Switch (IPS) is in the ON
position. Turn the vehicle ignition on to start the AS4080 system.
The DISPLAY menu will be shown. This displays the status of
the Master Control switch, and the state of the configured
sections.
Switch the selected Master Control switch to ON.
The display should change to M=on. The change should be
shown on the Spray Controller display.
Switch the selected Master Control switch to OFF.
The display should change to M=off. The change should be
shown on the Spray Controller display.
A delay may occur between the switching of the Master Control switch
and when the M= value is changed on the AutoSPRAY 4080. This delay
is due to the type of electrical circuit switching used within the Spray
Rate Controller.
If Status M= value does not change, check that the cable has been
installed correctly.

2.4 Connecting the GPS
A GPS receiver or guidance system with an incorporated GPS needs to
be connected to the AutoSPRAY 4080 using a serial interface.
An interface cable is supplied with the AutoSPRAY 4080 kit, which will
suit most GPS receivers. However it is possible that a different cable will
be required to connect the GPS receiver to the AutoSPRAY 4080. See
Appendix B for common GPS receiver interface cables.
The GPS output messages required are NMEA GGA and VTG at 5Hz.
The default baud rate is 19,200 but can be changed if required.
You will need to refer to your GPS system User Manual to assist in
determining data port settings.
To test the GPS interface, follow the steps below.

GPS Accuracy – An Important Issue
The relative accuracy of your GPS system will determine the overall
performance of the AutoSPRAY 4080 system. The more accurate the
GPS, the more accurate AutoSPRAY will be.
By default the AutoSPRAY 4080 is configured to function only with a
differentially corrected GPS position (DGPS). Typically DGPS is quoted
with sub-metre accuracy, hence the AutoSPRAY will be of an equivalent
accuracy.
AutoSPRAY 4080 User Manual
Page 13
Version 2.1
Revision A
The AutoSPRAY 4080 can be configured to function with non-corrected
GPS positioning, or sometimes referred to as stand-alone GPS. The
resultant accuracy of the AutoSPRAY 4080 will once again be directly
related to the GPS signal.
RINEX recommend that the AutoSPRAY 4080 always be used with a
DGPS to provide optimal accuracy with the overall system, it is the
operator’s responsibility to determine the accuracy of the GPS.
"
Check with your supplier of the GPS receiver or guidance
system to determine to overall accuracy you should expect.

3.4 Configuring the GPS
The AutoSPRAY 4080 will operate with almost any GPS receiver which
can output a NMEA message. In order for the AutoSPRAY 4080 to
function correctly the GPS receiver must be configured to the following
parameters;
NMEA message
GGA & VTG
Update rate
5Hz
Baud rate
19,200 baud (optional settings)
Instructions for configuring the Trimble EZ-Guide ® and Outback® GPS
Guidance are provided in Appendices I & J. For all other GPS receivers
or guidance system refer to the manufacturers manual.
Connect the GPS receiver to the GPS port on the back panel of the
AutoSPRAY 4080 Controller as described in Section 2.4. Once the GPS
has been connected it will be necessary to check that the GPS
messages are being correctly received by the AutoSPRAY 4080
controller.
Configuring the GPS Baud Rate
It is important that the AutoSPRAY 4080 is
configured with the correct GPS baud rate.
Select the correct baud rate according to your
GPS receiver by editing the Baud value in the GPS Menu.
Connecting GPS
The GPS is connected via a serial cable from the GPS receiver to the
GPS port on the Back Panel of the AutoSPRAY 4080. See Figure 3-3 on
page 20.
GPS Status
The GPS Status displays the number of
satellites that are observed and the current
HDOP (Horizontal accuracy indicator).
AutoSPRAY 4080 User Manual
Page 21
Version 2.1
Revision A
For Good GPS, the number of satellites must be greater than 4.
For Good GPS the HDOP should be less than 10.0. A HDOP of greater
than 10.0 will result in Poor GPS.
DGPS Requirements
The AutoSPRAY 4080 by default requires differentially corrected GPS
(DGPS) data which provides a more accurate position and enhances the
overall performance of the system. However the AutoSPRAY 4080 can
be configured to operate on GPS data only, which is done by editing the
DGPS Required Menu.
GPS Health
The GPS Health is constantly indicated on the GPS status LED as
denoted by the colour of the LED. Further information on the GPS health
is also provided on the screen by a series of status messages.

3.5 Configuring the Spray Rate Controller
The spray rate controller may not need to be configured to operate with
the AutoSPRAY 4080. However it is necessary that one switch is
selected as the Master switch, which controls when both the AutoSPRAY
4080 and the spray rate controller should be ON or OFF.
When the AutoSPRAY 4080 is in OPERATIONAL MODE (controlling the
section switches), the individual boom section switches are to be in the
OFF position.
Selecting the Spray Rate Controller
The AutoSPRAY 4080 can be configured to
work with different types of spray rate
controllers. From the Parameters menu, select
the required controller from the options available. The Default option will
suit most generic spray rate controllers.

3.6 Configuring the Vehicle and Boom
When setting up the AutoSPRAY 4080 for the first time or for use in a
new vehicle, there are various settings that must be configured for
AutoSPRAY 4080 to function correctly and accurately.
The AutoSPRAY 4080 models the movement of the entire spray rig,
whether it is a self propelled boom spray or a trailed boom spray. This
allows the true position of the spray boom and its orientation to be
accurately computed for precise control when switching the boom
sections ON and OFF.
The measurements as detailed in the following section are to be
accurately measured on the spray rig and should be recorded in the
accompanying Table for the vehicle type for future reference.
GPS Offset (Cross Track)
The distance between the centreline of the
vehicle and the GPS antenna must be
entered as the Cross Track value. Measure
the distance and enter a positive value if the antenna is to the right of the
centreline of the vehicle as viewed from the rear of the tractor facing
forwards. Enter a negative value if the antenna is to the left of the
centreline of the vehicle as viewed from the rear of the tractor facing
forwards. The Cross Track value can be edited in the GPS Menu.
GPS Offset (Long Track)
The distance from the GPS antenna to the centreline of the front axle on
the spray vehicle. If a front boom is used the Long Track measurement is
to the flow point of the boom and not the front axle.
Boom Settings
The Boom Settings determine the overall width
of the spray boom being used. Enter the
number of boom sections and the width of
each section in the Boom Width Menu.

3.8 Configuring the Boom Spray Parameters
The following parameters are used when determining when to turn the
sections ON and OFF. To optimize the usage of AutoSPRAY 4080 it is
important that these settings are configured correctly.
Tolerance
The Tolerance is used to decide when to turn valves ON or OFF. When
set to its default of 1%, the system will turn the valves on whenever any
part of the sensed area has not been sprayed. It is effectively the percent
of miss that the system will tolerate. If the value is increased, the system
will not turn the valves on when traversing over a small missed area such
as a line between two spray swaths.
The Tolerance value can be edited in the
Parameters Menu.
Search Width
NOTE: This is an advanced tuning parameter and should only be
changed from its default value under instruction from authorised support
personnel.
This value defines the amount of overlap allowed when turning the
valves ON before leaving a sprayed area such as an end zone. Hence if
the value is set to 2m (default) the spray section should turn on 2m
before any part of the section reaches and unsprayed area. This can be
used to decrease errors caused by inaccurate GPS positioning. When
entering a previously sprayed area, the system will attempt to turn OFF
at exactly the correct time.
The Search Width value can be edited in the
Parameters Menu.
Latency ON
Latency ON is used to compensate for any time delay between the time
the system requests the valves to open and the actual time that this
AutoSPRAY 4080 User Manual
Page 36
Version 2.1
Revision A
takes place. For example, if it takes one second for a valve to open, a
Latency ON value of one second should be entered. In this case the
signal to open the valve will be sent one second before the valve needs
to open.
Latency OFF
Latency OFF is opposite to Latency ON and is used to compensate for
any time delay between the time the system requests the valves to close
and the actual time that this takes place.

Measuring Latency
The quickest way to estimate the latency of the sprayer is to use a stop
watch, turn a spray section on and time the delay between this action
and when spray is coming out the nozzle onto the crop. This may be a
very small value (a few tenths of a second and hard to measure
accurately).
For a more accurate measurement, use the following procedure:
Step Instruction
1
2
3
4
Diagram
Drive slowly in a straight line down the
field for 200m with the sprayer on. The
tank should have water only for the
purpose of this exercise.
Have another person mark the end
nozzle of the boom with two pegs and a
rope half way along the spray run.
At right angles to the pervious spray run,
spray at 20km/hr across the spray mark
with one end of the boom crossing over
the rope.
Ensure that you have allowed enough
distance before crossing over the line for
the boom trailer to straighten up behind
the tractor.
Have someone measure the distance
from the rope to where the sprayer
actually reacted.
Repeat step 2 in the opposite direction.

Diagram
Distance(m) = The distance from the rope to where the sprayer
reacted in metres.
Calculate the latency using this formula:
Latency(s) = Distance(m) ÷ Speed(km/h) x 3.6
For example
Assuming the operator was traveling at 20km/hr and the
distance from the rope to where the sprayer reacted is 5 metres:
Latency(s) = 5(m) ÷ 20(km/h) x 3.6 = 0.9 seconds.
Imperial Calculations
If Speed(mph) = The speed of the vehicle in miles per hour.
Distance(ft) = The distance from the rope to where the sprayer
reacted in feet.
Calculate the latency using this formula:
Latency(s) = Distance(ft) ÷ Speed(mph) x 0.68
For example
Assuming the operator was traveling at 12mph and the distance
from the rope to where the sprayer reacted is 16ft:
Latency(s) = 16(ft) ÷ 12(mph) x 0.68 = 0.9 seconds
Often the latency time for the sprayer to switch on will differ from
the time to switch off. Enter each value into the Latency ON and
Latency OFF menu options.
Repeat steps 1 to 4, altering the latency figure by plus or minus
0.1 seconds, until the optimum result is achieved.

Prior to using the AutoSPRAY 4080 for the first time the AutoSPRAY
4080 Self Test should be completed to ensure that all components are
correctly installed and operational.
The Self Test is used to check the AutoSPRAY 4080 is communicating
correctly with the spray controller. It starts with a test of system sound
and then turns ON each section for three seconds each. To start the
Self Test, set the Self Test Page to “Yes”. The left most boom section
(when looking from behind the boom) will come on first. When the
section test is finished it tests the Master for general ON/OFF switching.

The AutoSPRAY 4080 is not powered at all
when the unit is either not connected to a DC
power supply or the Isolation Power Switch is
OFF.
The AutoSPRAY 4080 is connected to a
power supply and the Isolation Power Switch
is ON. Once the AutoSPRAY 4080 senses
12vDC on the ignition wire the unit will switch
ON to the OPERATIONAL mode.
When the system is in STANDDBY mode, the
spray controller can be used to manually
control the sections. The LCD will display
STANDBY MODE. Press the Standby Button
on the front panel keypad to enter STANDBY
Mode. Press it again to enter OPERATIONAL
mode.
When the system is not in STANDBY mode, it
is in OPERATIONAL mode. When in
OPERATIONAL mode, the AutoSPRAY 4080
records treatment data as the field is sprayed
and uses this information to turn the boom
sections ON and OFF accordingly.

Start to move the vehicle forwards. The boom sections will
automatically switch ON as the vehicle moves over a nontreated area and will switch OFF over a treated area which has
been recorded by the AutoSPRAY 4080.
As the field is being treated, various
status information can be viewed
from the Display Menu. Information
such as area treated and the percentage of overlapped area
can be viewed in this menu.
When the field has been treated, turn the Master switch OFF.
If you wish to stop working, simply turn the vehicle ignition off to
shutdown the AutoSPRAY 4080.
If you wish to continue working in a different field, see section
4.3 on starting a New Field.
Reversing the Vehicle
The AutoSPRAY 4080 typically assumes that the vehicle is always
moving in a forward direction and that the boom sprayed is towed from
the rear of the tractor. The vehicle modelling features incorporated in the
AutoSPRAY4080 uses this logic to compute the position of the boom.
AutoSPRAY 4080 User Manual
Page 47
Version 2.1
Revision A
However when a tractor reverses, such as reversing the boom into a
corner of a field, the AutoSPRAY 4080 will only be aware that the vehicle
is reversing if the Master Switch is in the OFF position. This will be
confirmed by an audible alarm (series of short beeps).
Hence the logic rule that applies is as follows:
If the Master switch is ON the vehicle is moving forward. If the Master
switch is OFF, the vehicle can be moving backwards.
When moving the vehicle into the field to start spraying, the AutoSPRAY
4080 should only be powered up when the vehicle is moving forwards, or
is about to move in a forward direction.

4.4 Creating Field Zones
The AutoSPRAY 4080 can be used to create zones within a field which
can be set as an exclusion, or inclusion zone. The inclusion zone
defines where the AutoSPRAY 4080 will permit spraying activities, ie the
field which is being sprayed. The exclusion zone defines areas where
the AutoSPRAY 4080 will prevent spraying activities, ie may be used to
prevent spray in a water course. An example of a field divided into
zones is shown in Figure 4.1.
WATER
COURSE
INCLUSION
ZONE
EXCLUSION
ZONE
Figure 4.1 Field with Inclusion and Exclusion Zones
As the spray boom crosses into the exclusion zone all sections will be
shut OFF by the AutoSPRAY 4080. The sections will be switched ON
once the spray boom returns to the inclusion zone.
Zone boundaries are created by first choosing the zone type, and then
driving around the perimeter of the zone with the vehicle. The zone
status must be set to RECORD while the boundary is being defined, and
is set to END when the boundary driving is complete. The recording may
be PAUSED to allow for detours due to creeks etc.
It is not necessary to set either an exclusion or inclusion zone for the
AutoSPRAY 4080 to function correctly. It is possible to set only an
exclusion zone where the AutoSPRAY 4080 will shut OFF the boom
sections.
